I doubt this is actually the problem you're seeing but you can control tint via the hue setting. Run ivtvctl -a and see if the Hue setting is anything other than 0. If it is, you can adjust this with ivtvctl and see if it helps. Also, check that MythTV isn't screwing with your hue - it might be if you're using Xv to view the video rather than the PVR350's decoder. The default MythTV hue setting is wrong in v0.19 when displaying via VGA-out on an ATI chipset - it defaults to 0% when it needs to be 50%. This can be adusted via the OSD.
